Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation requires basic electrical knowledge. Always ensure the power supply is switched off at the consumer unit before commencing any electrical work. This switch is designed to replace standard UK back-box mounted switches.
- Remove the old switch plate.
- Carefully disconnect the existing wiring, noting the connections for 1-way or 2-way operation.
- Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the Varilight switch (refer to wiring diagrams if unsure).
- Secure the new switch to the back box.
- Replace the faceplate.
- Restore power and test the switch.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for mains voltage (230-240V) and low voltage lighting circuits.
- Max Load: 10 Amps per gang.
- Compatible with most LED, incandescent, and halogen lamps. Check manufacturer guidelines for specific LED compatibility if dimming is required (this is a standard on/off switch, not a dimmer).
Care:
- Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the switch mechanism. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
